   This ink is a terrible product-does not last and does not produce anywhere near the number of pages it says. Luck to get 50 pages of letter size, plain text (think term paper). Also colored ink is used up even when only printing black and white.

   Dont even bother with your canned reply. Your product is terrible and you know it. There is no reason these cartridges should run out this fast. Shame on you.

   I keep buying these cartridges for my old printer (MG7720), and I keep waiting for it to die. But it keeps chugging along, and I keep feeding it the Canon ink. One of these days, it will probably die right after I just buy new cartridges! But it’s been a great workhorse. And all colors of the Canon ink are just superb; I’ve never had a single problem.

   This is a very convenient and economical way to replace ink cartridges in your compatible Brother printer. Ordering was easy. Just be sure to confirm compatibility.

   Always order from B&H. Best price and arrived pretty quickly.

   These cartridges are crap. They show empty even though they have plenty of ink left inside. If you take a piece of electrical tape and cover up both sides of the clear ink window, it will trick the printer into thinking that the cartridge is full and you can keep using it. Otherwise you will only use half the ink in the cartridge

   Brother, there are too many of these complaints to ignore. This ink just disappears shortly after I open and install a newly purchased cartridge. I don’t ever get the yield that you claim, even within the first few weeks after the fresh installation. I’ve done cartridge cleaning after cartridge cleaning. I expect much better quality from Brother. Very unhappy with this product.

   The problem appears to be that these cartridges just go bad. Sitting on a shelf in their original sealed packaging or installed in the printer, the ink just seems to vanish over time. I don’t have a need to print daily or even weekly. I have used a number of printers and printer technologies over the years. My favorite is STILL the old clunky HP LaserJet 4000. Cartridges print as many pages as advertised or more. They stay fresh for (literally) years whether on the shelf or installed. This is just not true of this brother printer. I bought a 4pack of genuine ink and installed it. Before even one page was printed, two of the 4 inks showed less than half full. The other two began showing low after only a few pages of mixed text and graphics. I think the design is just bad and nothing will make it better short of delivering ultra short-lived and ultra low priced cartridges that you install before you print and then pull after a week of use. They just don’t last for any amount of time. Time seems to be the limiting factor, not page count when it comes to this product. The ink-jet business model seems to be: 1) Loss lead the printer with low capacity carts. 2) Sell far over-priced replacements carts to make the money back. 3) Blame suppliers of off-brand papers and inks for poor quality results. OTOH, The printer does an outstanding job of producing printed output when the over-priced “recommended” supplies are used. OTGH, The long-term and light use of this product in the home is likely to be cost prohibitive.
